The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-invited the drag and nonprofit activist group The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the team's upcoming Pride Night, following public outcry after the Dodgers rescinded the group's initial invitation to the event.
"After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the [Sisters], members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families," the team said in a statement.
The Sisters have agreed to "take their place on the field" for the Dodgers' Pride Night and accept the Community Hero Award that they were originally going to be given in recognition of the "lifesaving work they have done tirelessly for decades," the statement added.
